I suspect metal detectors showing up at large venues in ND recently has less to do with the venue management and more to do with their insurance carriers.

Electrolux is leaving, that sucks.

I see your 100 and raise you to 500.

Tickets go in the ticket forum.

So Wisconsin and Penn State are playing a weekend series: - Thursday (Halloween) at 7 Eastern - Friday at 6 Eastern Sorry, but that's not good for either of them or college hockey in general.

Add it to the list of pre-game restaurants I'd go to that have closed: Shangri-La Grizzley's New Chinese joint on Columbia that opened after Shangri-La Now Wild Hog #KissOfDeath

Employers look for workforce. Workforce needs affordable housing. I'm no fan of the standard, stale, three-story apartment building, but that's home for manufacturing workers and entry level professionals. Companies looking to place a facility look for things like workers and workers look for affordable housing (and initially that's apartments). If I were starting a company I'd look for a city with workforce. If I were looking at a job in a city the first thing I'd look for is where to live. It's all tied together. You have to think like a systems engineer: how do all the moving pieces mesh together.

You'd probably have a better shot with Midco Sports Net.

Sleeping on this notion ... Would that be all bad? The Canadian junior/major junior system works. Minor league baseball works. The NFL and NBA get free minor league systems, and much of it publicly subsidized. Make educational institutions focused first on educating.

Engineers, bay-bee!

Indubitably.

The Law of Unintended Consequences smirks coyly in the corner of the room.

I'm torn. Clearly the student-athlete's image has value or else why would it be used in advertising for sporting events? But this screams to me, as some speculate, as a way to get additional (under the table, but now above the table) dollars to athletes directly from boosters. Put another way: How many Alabama FB starters will be hocking cars in car ads on Tuscaloosa TV in coming days?

That’s what I said: If UST tried this and the Summit had stayed mute UST had no chance. With the Summit behind UST it’s better than coin-flip. I say that and not more because the NCAA has history of arbitrary and capricious decisions.

If the Summit stayed mute: 0.0%. With the Summit's statement, better than coin-flip.

Name sadly not on the list? This one.

That's too big of a change. It'd change their whole target audience and recruiting footprint. I suspect the Arizonas want something from the PAC12 and this is their way of getting some attention.

Unless you are a football-revenue-positive- P5, or have a massive athletics endowment fund.

Weber (Massey #7) has Sac State (Massey #4) this week. That should be a game. I'd say UND caught a good week for a bye and to heal up some dings.

Two of the six were relieved of their prior presidencies and another took a no confidence vote while serving as a provost.

Yes, UND has a bad road loss. But go here: https://www.masseyratings.com/cf/fcs/ratings Click on 'SOS' to sort by strength of schedule. UND has played the 13th toughest schedule and is 5-3.

Armacost is an engineer; so are three others based on present position. And a hard science (biology). Interesting. PS - Try to find why the one was relieved as president at Wyoming. Not much out there. A bit concerning I'd say.

Yah-mon.

Blasphemy to follow; be warned: Is it time to rethink the 3-4 scheme? It was put in place to stop an offensive scheme no longer in wide use. And it seems to lend to DL being hurt because there's more opportunity to double-team them (5x3 vs 5x4). Discuss.
